Imagine forcing every kid to walk around holding an ad for Planned Parenthood. Well, in California, you don’t have to imagine it. State Assemblyman Jesse Gabriel is doing everything he can to seal the single largest free publicity deal in the history of abortion: a Planned Parenthood phone number on every student ID. Including kids at private and Christian schools.

He calls it the “Pupil and Student Health” bill, but critics of Gabriel’s AB 624 want people to know what it really is: an attack on the First Amendment. By slapping Planned Parenthood’s hotline on the back of every 12- to 24-year-old’s ID, California would essentially be forcing every student to join an abortion sales team.

And if you think private schools are exempted, think again. Gabriel’s plan doesn’t just affect public middle schools, high schools, and colleges—but Christian campuses, too. Good luck winning that one in court. Parents would be filing lawsuits faster than you can say “compelled government speech.”

And of course, it’s not like Planned Parenthood needs the publicity—especially in California, where the group holds a virtual monopoly on sex ed. Most kids are exposed to Planned Parenthood before they can even spell it.

Thanks to Gov. Jerry Brown’s Healthy Youth Act, Leana Wen’s group already has a head start on indoctrination—which, as we all know, is her best shot at future business. Even charter schools are ordered to serve up Planned Parenthood’s propaganda in California, including the controversial “Get Real” curriculum, a program so radically pornographic that parents across the country have packed townhalls to have it removed.

If Gabriel wanted to put a resource on the back of student IDs, fine. But why pick a group as corrupt as Planned Parenthood? (An organization under criminal investigation for selling baby body parts doesn’t exactly scream credibility.) The answer’s simple. Planned Parenthood forked over $4,400 for his 2018 campaign. This isn’t about wellness—it’s about a down payment on future contributions.

Apparently, California Family Council’s Greg Burt writes, Gabriel “doesn’t see the conflict of interest in using government resources to provide free advertising to an organization that has given him an endorsement and campaign cash.”

Speaking of money, Planned Parenthood doesn’t need to be on student IDs. They’re in our wallets already. Remember, this is an organization that rakes in more than half a billion dollars from taxpayers every year. Surely, they have enough cash to get out their pro-abortion message without forcing schools to advertise an activity they should be discouraging.

Imagine the uproar if conservatives tried to put the contact information for a pregnancy care center on the back of student IDs? Or, since Gabriel seems to be so intent on political plugs, how about the California Family Council?

In the end, his idea isn’t just outrageous—it’s deadly. Gabriel is lobbying to replace the suicide hotline on the back of these kids’ IDs with an organization whose No. 1 business actually leads to the mental health issues that cause some women to take their lives.

As the Family Research Council explains in its publication “Planned Parenthood Is Not Pro-Woman,” a “2011 peer-reviewed synthesis on the mental health effects of abortion included a survey of 22 published studies combining data on 877,181 participants, showing that abortion increases the likelihood of depression, anxiety, and reckless behavior such as alcoholism, drug use, and sadly, suicide.”

Gabriel’s bill doesn’t just force young people to violate their beliefs—it promotes an industry that jeopardizes these girls’ health.

If today’s teenagers want to talk to someone about sex, here’s an idea: call home. Until then, stop using the heavy arm of government to burden these kids’ free exercise. As attorney Dean Broyles with the National Center for Law and Policy said, “The radicals in the California Legislature just don’t get it! We still have a First Amendment.”

When California tried to force pregnancy care centers to do the same kind of Planned Parenthood PR, even Justice Anthony Kennedy was appalled. It’s time to read the Constitution, he insisted, “to understand the history of authoritarian government as the Founders then knew it; to confirm that history since then shows how relentless authoritarian regimes are in their attempts to stifle free speech; and to carry those lessons onward.”

If liberals haven’t learned that lesson, then it’s up to Congress to help them. It’s time to defund Planned Parenthood—once and for all. If the abortion industry has enough money to fund Gabriel’s campaign, then it certainly doesn’t need ours.

Politics makes us stupid. It forces us to render black-and-white decisions in a gray world. It demands that we seek temporal solutions to eternal problems. It compels us to boil complex questions down to a vote, yea or nay. Blind partisanship and rage only serve to magnify the stupidity. The best defenses against it are humor, patience and an attempt at a fuller understanding of the issues.

Guest post by Joe Hoft

A 2016 DOJ criminal investigation was suppressed and buried by the DOJ/FBI that involved a major NY Democratic power broker and the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation.

The investigation revolved around the illegal sale of controlled US Homeland Security technology to Russia and China in the years before the 2016 election by a company named AGT.

The DOJ terminated its internal investigation in 2016 despite clear and irrefutable evidence of criminal activity and hid it from the public!

In Part I of our series we discussed the Clinton Foundation and the donations to the Foundation from the COB (Martin L. Edelman) and CEO (Mati Kochavi) of AGT International as well as from Sheikhs in the UAE. These donations in the millions of dollars were for favors from the Clintons. In return the Clintons helped promote AGT –

In Part II of our series we discussed the illegal actions that AGT International took to generate revenues around the globe. Highly sensitive US defense technology and ITAR classified products were provided to China, Russia and other countries in the name of sales growth. These actions were beyond criminal, they were treasonous.

(Below is an AGT article about its premier defense software from its company 4D Security Solutions.)

In Part III of our series we discussed the investigation that the FBI/DOJ started into AGT and the Clinton Foundation but then terminated and covered up before the 2016 Presidential election despite irrefutable crimes!

 

In Part IV of our series we discussed the activities by individuals associated with AGT in obtaining entrance to a highly sensitive US Intel facility circumventing the controls in place that prevent illegal entries to the facility.

In Part V of our series we discussed the efforts by AGT to obtain top secret US Intel for the sole purpose of selling to the Russians.  AGT personnel used the information as a means to entice sales from US adversaries.  AGT offered Russians the ability to conduct counter-Intel operations (e.g. cell phone intercepts, object and vehicle tracking, etc.).  All of this information provided to the Russians was highly classified and never should have been placed in their hands. This information was provided by AGT senior managers like Gadi Lenz, a US national who also held a key executive position at the US based defense contractor 4D Security Solutions.

Below image shows the LinkedIn profile of Gadi Lenz that identifies him as a CTO at 4D Security Solutions and a chief scientist at AGT.

Below is an image showing a Cyber Security solution AGT offered to the Russian government –

Image below shows an AGT C4I system deployed in Liaoyuan China. The system among other things was designed to automatically track and create a detailed pattern of motion of vehicles belonging to western embassies.

Today we’ll continue with our series and show the shady efforts AGT took to obtain contracts in the US.  AGT utilized its COB and the Clintons to gain access to highly placed Law Enforcement Agents (LEA’s) and former Federal and political figures in order to open doors and gain access to  federal, state, and political leads that helped the company penetrate the US market.

What would another Clinton scandal be without the likes of former Clinton Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson?  For example, in a meeting designed help an AGT company (3i-MIND) sell to the US law enforcement market, Thomas Betro, the head of 3i-MIND’s Global Law Enforcement practice and the former National Counterintelligence Executive arranged for some “Consulting” Services with the following participants:

1. John Magaw– President Clinton’s Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) from 1993 to 1999. Prior to that he was Director of the United States Secret Service from 1992 to 1993. Magaw took over the ATF after the Waco siege that ended when the FBI attempted to overrun the Branch Davidian compound resulting in a fire that killed more than 70 people.
2. Bradley Buckles– President Clinton’s former Director of the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives beginning in 1999.  Buckles followed Magaw in this role.
3. Governor Bill Richardson– President Clinton’s Former U.S. Ambassador to United Nations and former U.S. Secretary of Energy, Richardson was later elected Governor of New Mexico.

While Secretary of Energy, Richardson’s Energy Department was marred by an incident where a Chinese man by the name of  Wen Ho Lee was charged with spying at the Los Alamos National Laboratories.  Later a couple of computer drives were found missing at the same location.  After delays in providing information on the lost drives, in June 2000 the FBI baled Richardson out –

Two highly sensitive computer hard drives that were missing from the Los Alamos National Laboratories earlier this year never left the premises, and the FBI has uncovered no hints of espionage in the case, Energy Secretary Bill Richardson told a Senate committee Wednesday.

Richardson was later considered for a position on the Obama Administration but Richardson withdrew his nomination because of an investigation into whether he exchanged New Mexico state government contracts for campaign financing.  Obama’s Department of  Justice eventually killed the investigation into these pay-for-play allegations.

It seems expected that Clinton Foundation donors Edelman and Kochavi would involve the likes of Richardson and the Clintons in their efforts to promote their company – AGT.  On August 3rd and August 9th, 2011, AGT held meetings with the three experts above.

As a result of these meetings, AGT lined up contracts in the following police departments around the country –

• Tucson
• Newark
• Boston
• Colorado Springs
• San Diego
• Riverside
• Memphis
• Jacksonville

AGT regularly utilized and paid off highly placed former military, LEA and former Federal and political figures to open doors to obtain classified information.  For example, below is an image showing a cash envelope used to pay off officials in one Asia Pacific country –

The AGT family of companies participated in numerous suspect, if not criminal activities. The leaders of the company were Clinton friends and major donors to the Clinton Foundation. The Clintons in turn helped promote AGT.

AGT then participated in numerous shady and criminal activities, the worst of which were selling US ITAR regulated products and information to the Russians and Chinese.

The DOJ/FBI started an investigation of AGT but then covered it up. The investigation into the Clinton Foundation and AGT was material to the 2016 US election and yet the FBI and DOJ concealed it from the American public.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.  The Clinton Foundation and the DOJ and FBI must be investigated and the crimes committed by these entities must be brought to justice!

President Trump has given notice that the lurch to socialism by the Democrats will be a key issue on which the Republicans will contest the 2020 elections.

Trump flagged his intentions during his State of the Union address on February 5 – when addressing the deteriorating situation in Venezuela:

“We stand with the Venezuelan people in their noble quest for freedom—and we condemn the brutality of the Maduro regime, whose socialist policies have turned that nation from being the wealthiest in South America into a state of abject poverty and despair.
